TextMesh Pro WebGL & .Net 4.6

Hello,

I just would request an update regarding the situation with TextMeshPro, WebGL and .net 4.6.
Currently it throws this exception when I build a WebGL Version.

Code (CSharp):

1. Rethrow as TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo' threw an exception.

It's reported in this Issue: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...doperationexception-on-webgl-with-net-4-dot-6

Last post regarding this was: https://forum.unity.com/threads/tex...ed-text-rendering.248636/page-40#post-3162858

Is there anyway to work around this? Is there a fix on the way?
Any update?

Regards,
Shane

 

In what version of Unity are you getting this error?

As you may already know, this issue is exposed by TMP but not specific to it. I thought it had been addressed but let me see if I can track down those who would be looking into this.

 

Tried it today in 2017.2.0p1 but i have it since it's .net 4.6 is available.

Thanks already for the quick answer!

 

*bump*

Found anyone?

 

The team handling .Net 4.6 is aware of the issue but no ETA on a fix yet.

 

Thanks!

 

Running into this in 2018.1. Was there any final resolution or workaround here?

 

No, we are NOT building with embedded resources. This is a fairly "vanilla" setup. Just having a TextMeshPro input field in WebGL with net standard 2.0 scripting seems to cause this exception.

Should I try building WITH embedded resources? (Sounds like you are saying the opposite, but I want to make sure).

 

Got it. Will let you know how it goes. Thank you!

 

Unfortunately, even building with embedded resources did not fix the problem. Setting the text on any TextMeshProInputField in a WebGL build still leads to:

Code (CSharp):

I built with embedded resources by doing this:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public class WebGlBuilder : IProcessSceneWithReport
2.     {
3.         private static bool _hasSetup;
4.         public int callbackOrder => 0;
5.        
6.         public void OnProcessScene(Scene scene, BuildReport report)
7.         {
8.             if (!_hasSetup)
9.             {
10.                 _hasSetup = true;
11. #pragma warning disable 0618
12.                 PlayerSettings.SetPropertyBool("useEmbeddedResources", true, BuildTargetGroup.WebGL);
13. #pragma warning restore 0618
14.             }          
15.         }
16.     }
17.  

 

I spoke too soon! Apparently, setting the flag in an implementation of IProcessSceneWithReport had no effect. By just manually executing this from a menu item and then saving the project, THEN rebuilding, this did, in fact, fix the problem.

Thank you for your help @JoshPeterson. Needless to say, this will be a roadblock for other users but it sounds like you're fixing it "out of the box" for a future release already.

 

Same error in Unity 2018.1.0f2 and .Net 4.x. I can't use TextMeshProUGUI on WebGL because of this error.

Code (CSharp):

1. InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
2. at System.Globalization.GlobalizationAssembly.GetGlobalizationResourceBytePtr (System.Reflection.Assembly assembly, System.String tableName) [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0
3. Rethrow as TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo' threw an exception.
4.  
5. (Filename: currently not available on il2cpp Line: -1)

Incomprehensibly, TextMeshPro (not in Canvas) is work correctly.
And TextMeshProUGUI with only alphanumeric characters is work correctly too.
I use TextMeshProUGUI and Japanese in my Game and some of them break.

 

Did you build with embedded resources?

 

Sorry, I didn't build with embedded resources enabled because I didn't know how to do it.

I examined again today and I could do it by following script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEditor;
2.  
3. public class WebGLEditorScript
4. {
5.     [MenuItem("Tools/WebGL/Enable Embedded Resources")]
6.     public static void EnableEmbeddedResources()
7.     {
8.         PlayerSettings.WebGL.useEmbeddedResources = true;
9.     }
10. }
11.  

And then, TextMeshProUGUI was working fine in .Net 4.x. Thank you!

 

Just wanted to thank @Claytonious and @JoshPeterson for helping out

I'm having this error here:

I've done the use embedded resources and it solved the issue for 2-3 builds, but now it doesn't work regardless.

I'm using Unity 2017.2.1, IL2CPP Android Build. Sometimes a similar error shows up but mentions Dotween instead of TextMeshPro.

Any ideas?

@Stephan_B mentioned to ask you.

Thanks

 

So here is the error i'm getting:

Code (CSharp):

1. IOException: Sharing violation on path C:\Users\joshe\Desktop\TT\UpDunks2 - Copy (3)\UpDunks\Temp\StagingArea\assets\bin\Data\Managed\tempStrip\TextMeshPro-2017.2-1.0.56-Runtime.dll

12. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)
13.  

And after I get this error, I do a search using Process Explorer and search for 'TextMeshPro' and 'TextMeshPro-2017.2-1.0.56-Runtime.dll' both of which return 0 results.

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks.
